Fashawn – “Remember The Times”

Recently, I was asked who we didn’t get for The GOP B&T that I wish we would have gotten. Stepping back & looking @ it, I think the lineup is super solid. Again, there’s not much else you can do to say “Hey, come check this free show, which is probably one of the best you’ll see in 2009.” Literally, we asked & every artist you see responded with a quick “Yes” without hesitating.

But if we’re speaking hypothetically, one cat I wish we had reached out to would be Mr. Boy Meets World. Fashawn’s got an energy that he brings to the mic and an ear for beats (his upcoming album is being produced by Exile). Too many talk about “what it used to be like,” but I’ll be damned if Fashawn’s command of the mic doesn’t put me in the mind of so many remarkable ones from the past. Point of reference, this track from The New Classics mixtape.
